If it doesn't have a tail, it's not a monkey.

As the mommy of a two year old, I seem to have lost touch with anything that could possibly be classified as contemporary music and that part of my brain has miraculously been occupied with various cartoon songs and assorted "silly songs with Larry." Recently, Veggie Tales released a hip new tune helping children differentiate between monkeys and apes. I quote, "If it doesn't have a tail, it's not a monkey even if it has a monkey kind of shape. If it doesn't have a tail, it's not a monkey. If it doesn't have a tail, it's not a monkey, it's an ape." Unfortunately I have been humming this catchy little tune for the last week.

So, today we got to take a peek at little baby Lewis for the first time! I am thrilled to report that despite Carter's insistence that there is a monkey in mommy's tummy, we did not see a tail! While it is still too early for us to see gender, we did see opposable thumbs and that is enough for this mommy!

And check out these sweet little legs all stretched out. (This is the back of the baby and the arrow is pointing at a thigh.)

The baby was moving and flipping and kicking, and it was so amazing to watch. It is currently the size of a lime, and we marveled at how "human" it looks already. The fun is just beginning. . .
